Nowadays, English is the language most widely use in the world society.Nevertheless English is an international language, formally or informally in parts of societies in many countries (Gramley, Gramley, & Pätzold, 2020).English become one of the important subject in all levels of school in Indonesia (Radita, Muttaqqin, & Irawan, 2024).In the modern era, almost all the occupation related to English as the Jurnal Inovasi Global basic of communication.English consists of listening, speaking, reading, and writing (Gkomptzia, 2024).Writing is one of the most common way to communicate.People can delivered ideas, thought, feeling through writing.
Alexander LG (2000) stated that four basic language skills are Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing.In his book he also said that the most important of all basic language skills are speaking and writing."Speaking and writing are the most important of these skills, since to some extent they presuppose the other two".In this section, the researcher focuses on writing skill.Writing is one of the language skills that should be taught besides the other skills.Writing is the most difficult of language skills.It requires complex thinking.In writing process we always involve thinking skill and creative skill.So, to learn writing skill may not be easy, that is way there are some problems faced by the students in writing activities according to the researchers' experience.Actually there are some media that can be used to share feeling and idea in writing skill almost in every school in Indonesia such as descriptive text, narrative text, procedure text, report text, recount text and etc.
According to Hyland (2019) who said that, "recount is a kind of genre that has social function to retell event for the purpose of informing or entertaining."Recount text is one of subjectsections taught in writing.It is kind of texts that retell the past event or experience which the purpose to inform or entertain the reader.Recount text tells about events in the past which the even are written in a chronological order.Recount text consist of three elements.The first is orientation which inform the participants, place and the time event took place.Second, recount text is events which describes the series that happened in the past.The third, recount text is reorientation which states the personal remarks or comment of the writer.Unfortunately, the students have difficulties at telling their experience.Writing is difficult for them because their lack of vocabulary and grammatical system.It means that the learners have not been successful yet, some students still have a problem with their writing after learning English for years (Budjalemba & Listyani, 2020).Field (2009) stated "the organization of language is known as grammar."Grammar is a method or system communication which is used by human in spoken or written language.The competency in using English is also very ifluenced by capability in understanding and implementing grammar.Besides the grammar mastery, there is another factor which also influences by the students' ablity in writing recount text, it is vocabulary mastery.Mastering vocabularies is one of the key to get a good writing.We have to choose appropriate vocabularies to arrange words to be a sentence and develop it to be paragraph.Vocabulary is the most important thing for students in the learning, mastering language process, "vocabulary was one of the most important aspects for foreign language" (Richards & Schmidt, 2013).Richards and Rendya (2013) stated that "vocabulary is a core component of language profiency and provides much of the basis for how well learners speak, listen, read and write."It means that vocabulary plays the most basic and important role in all aspects of English skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing.By mastering the vocabulary, the students will be able to express their feeling, knowledge and idea (Amalia, 2017).
Due to such condition above, it is necessary for students, particualrly students in the Vocational high school level, to know and understand the language elements of recount text.Based on the explanation above, so the researcher takes a research entitled "The Influence of Grammar and Vocabulary Mastery Towards Students' Recount Writing Skills (Survey at Private Vocational High School in Cirebon Regency)".
